Watch Drake's Toronto Raptors Promo Video

Last month, Toronto's NBA franchise the Raptors named the Toronto native Drake their "Global Ambassador," a loosely defined position that gives Drake a large role in the Raptors' gradual rebranding as the city prepares to host the 2016 NBA All-Star Game.

Today, the Raptors put out a dramatic, Toronto-touting promotional video that features Drake speaking about the city and the team's role in it. It's an earnest promo, to be sure—"I go a lot of places," Drake begins, "I dedicate a lot of time to my craft"—but you can't help but do a double take when Drake's voiceover mentions "star players" and Damon Stoudamire is the Raptor on the screen. Watch the promo below.
